Frozen Strawberry Margaritas

Brittany was our first guest in California! After an exhausting afternoon on the beach, Brittany, Brent and I decided to spend Friday night working hard to try to get the proportions to this margarita just right. It took several batches, making for a fun night! One warning though, this drink will turn you into a margarita snob. You'll never go back to expensive, syrupy restaurant margaritas.


Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups strawberries
2 1/2 cups crushed ice
2/3 cup tequila
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Cointreau
Lime wedges

Directions:
Combine strawberries, ice, tequila, lime juice, sugar, and liqueur in a blender, and process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the margaritas into 4 large glasses. Garnish margaritas with a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately.

  2. not too sweet for me! I tried it with just 1/4 cup of sugar, and it wasn't too yummy. Also, who are all these anonymous people!? Reveal yourselves!

    Beerita sounds amazing. I'll post that soon!
